It gives an almighty leap toward Mot intent on destroying him and his fellows utterly! At the same moment Jaras, Tirandir, Mot and Â†delwynn respond as one to the dire circumstances and rush headlong into the lair to let fly their missiles.

Mot flings his dagger at the pouncing monster as he scuttles aside, and whether by fluke or by his magic the knife sinks into its belly as it bellows out another jet of scorching acid at the company rushing into the lair.

Mot catches only a few globs of the searing stuff, but Jaras, Tirandir and Â†delwynn take the full blast head on, and alas! Jaras is destroyed!

Â†delwynn's lobbed oil flask deflects of the beast's smoldering scales and goes wide, but Tirandir's missile is true and pierces the monster right through the heart slaying it!

The dragon falls with a riotous clatter, and slides to a halt right before the three survivors, its black/blue scales still hissing and sizzling from the mayhem.

Back in the passageway, Malaveque still has control of the Lizardman.[/color]

Mot is already in position, so he fires first. Everyone else has to move into position to fire, so they fire in initiative order.

Mot (1d20=14) according to DD all hurled missiles are considered to be at medium range, which is at +1 to hit. Therefore, Mot scores exactly the 15 he requires to hit and (1d6=3) and delivers it a sharp knife in the belly for 3 hp damage.

Initiative is then rolled as the others clash (dragon=5, tirandir=2, jaras=4, aedelwynn=2).

The furious dragon uses its breath weapon again, right down the neck of the passage as the player's rush out, and everyone is hit. Saving throws are rolled (1d20; Jaras=2, Tirandir=12, Mot=16, Â†delwynn=7) and only Mot (the now genius magician!) saves.

(PSA) See here, kiddies, Acid is always a bad trip when draggin's are involved. (/PSA)

He would look at Mot and Â†delwynn and give a small shrug of the shoulder. "We lived". He would then eye the Lizardman for signs of rebellion to the Mot's magic....

If there is no more danger he would move into the lair proper and take a look at the loot.

OOC: Well 3 way split if we can carry it [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img] Here's to stinking rich!

waysoftheearth wrote: [color="Blue"]The dragon's hoard lies before you... piled there in the damp, misty chamber is the dragon's bed of coins!

Counting it all takes most of an hour, but there are 2,000 cp, 23,000 sp, and 16,000 gp. This small fortune aside, there are also 4 pieces of sparkling jewellery (worth 1,300, 1,500, 4,000 and 8,000gp respectively), 15 gemstones (with the most valuable stone being worth 1,000 gp), a magic potion of weightlessness, a scroll of magic-user spells, and magic wand of fear.

A righteous hoard indeed. Many long years of campaigning for the Gray Heart would not earn you such wealth!

doctorx wrote: Â†delwynn's beady eyes dart to the spell scroll, the wand and the potion, although the jewellery also holds his attention... as do the gems... he can't help eyeing up the gold and silver as well... Hells, even the copper has a certain allure...

"Gentlemen, it's time to retire," he murmurs quietly.

O.O.C: I make it four of us left, not counting Malaveque's scaly friend. How do you guys want to split this? I think we're all Mages, so we can all find a use for the magic. Maybe whoever forgoes grabbing a magic item gets first pick of the jewellery? What do you think? [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

Tirandir would look over the horde and crack a big smile.... He'd put the jewlery in a small pile, then the gems, then the items....

He would speak... "Some hard choices, hehe, no need to argue there is more then enough to last years ". He'd pick up the biggest piece of Jewlery (8,000gp) "I like this one. How about I keep this, and you each choose one. Then you each chose the item you want and I will go with out. Then we divide the gems but I only take 3. Then we carry as much gold as we can. (The Lizardman might be able to carry bags of silver)

Tirandir is a fighter (although he could possibly take up magic-using later in life), and Mot, Â†delwynn and Malaveque are all magic-users.

Treasure (and hence XP) division is up to the players [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]
